payment for the album. The legal process was long and protracted. The resulting album, “Hot! Sweet! and Juicy!” remains unreleased to this day. Demos of several songs that were intended for that album later made it to their 25th Anniversary Box Set. 1999: End of the road Towards the end of 1999 God Street Wine announced that they would be retiring from the road and disbanding. The possibility of future recording projects was left open. To put a close to this chapter the band announced a three night run (December 21–23, 1999) at The Wetlands Preserve, the club that had served as home base during their upward trajectory. The shows marked the return of Osander and Bevo who had left midway through 1998. Peter Levin, Aubrey Dayle, and Jason Crosby participated alongside the original lineup. On the first night, God Street Wine played a 3 set show, the first acoustic, the next two electric. The second night saw bluegrass band Phineas Gage fronted by Ominous Seapods co-founder Max Verna open up. Special guests sit-ins with GSW that night included John Popper of Blues Traveler and Oteil Burbridge of the Allman Brothers Band. The final night featured known GSW associates Ominous Seapods as the opener. Over 3 nights and 7 sets of music God Street Wine repeated a single song, "Into The Sea", one of their signature tunes. Order Forms at the merchandise table advertised a double live album to be released from these shows. Some months later, "Good To the Last Drop" was released as a double CD. 2000: Good To The Last Drop On July 11, 2000 God Street Wine released the double CD Live Album Good To The Last Drop. The nearly -hour set was culled from their 3 final shows at The Wetlands Preserve the December prior. 2001: Closing of The Wetlands Preserve and First Reunion In the Summer of 2001 it was announced that The Wetlands Preserve, the downtown NYC Club that had become a haven for the Jam band scene and an early home club for God Street Wine was closing at the end of September. Several bands, such as Spin Doctors, reunited to honor the club's legacy. God Street Wine reunited their original lineup and played on September 3, 2001. The show appropriately began with "Home Again" from Bag, their initial release from nearly a decade earlier. Max Verna & Dana Monteith from GSW
